This plant is figured at fol. 416 of the ‘ Botanical Magazine,’ 
under the name of Iris martinicensis, and the figure is good as 
far as it goes, but is wanting in dissections. I have therefore 
refigured the species, with a view to give those details and the 
character of the plant. With me the flowers are bright canary- 
yellow, with but little darkening at the base of the outer 
segments of the corolla. It flowers most freely in a moist stove, 
potted in turfy loam, well supplied with water. The flowers are 
of very short duration, opening early in the day, and closing 
soon after noon. Mr, Hahn sent me the plant from Martinica.—
